Just one of those days when the wind was perfect; boat seemed to get in the
groove and stay there; crew were working as a team and the sun was out.
We got into Port Angelese and were boarded by the American Coast Guard - only
time ever.
They kept us in the cockpit while 2 of them searched the

We’re flying out early Monday morning to the west coast - first sailing trip of
2014.
Friend of ours lives on his Catalina 38 in Sidney, Vancouver Island.
We’re going down to the San Juans and Washington State.

One of the sailors here buffed his mast with one of those green 3M buffing pads
- came out nice.

I make canvas stuff and repair sails locally.
I make genoa socks and put UV stripes on leech and foot.
I use a sock as it seems silly to put UV stripes on a high tech sail.
UV stripes are on the sail so you don’t have to think about them. Just furl and
forget.
They are quite heavy (Sunbrella)
You don’t install the tracks.
Use the existing tracks and use the new cars on the old tracks.
(my tracks are 1977 - I assume - and they still don't leak!)

Just been reading my original C&C manual from 1977. (It’s in amazing good
condition for 36 years old!)
Says in there to put “at least 60% of the weight of the yacht on the keel”.
…and not to “put weight on the keel further aft than the last keel bolt.
Extreme aft tip of the keel is very thin”.

Is there sailing water in Alberta? That might account for no tax. :)

So if reducing mast rake isn’t helping, what are your sails like?
If it isn’t rake, its got to be sail condition or maybe shroud / stay setup?

Joanne,
Just looked in my C&C manual which has original specs for a whole bunch of
different C&C’s.
My data sheet is dated May 1977:
C&C 30:
Universal engine - 1:1 transmission - 11” x 7” x 7/8” RH (2 blade fixed)
Westerbeke Deisel - 2:1 transmission - 14” x 10” x 1” RH (2 blade fixed)

I was talking to a US Coast Guard Commander (…or some sort of quite high
ranking officer) in Port Townsend a few years ago. He told me that somewhere
around 80% of the male bodies they retrieve from the water had their flies open.
I believe it! - we’ve all done it!

Bill,
I have a 2GM20F but most of the quoted part numbers so far match my pump too.
I also have a complete parts book with part #’s and pictures!
Not sure if it helps, but my part #’s are:
Complete pump assy. 121575-42000
Gasket 124223-42110
Impeller 124223-42091

Steve,
...and anyone else - how do you find the 2 blade and vibration? I note you had
a concern; was the concern justified or does the 2 blade run OK? Anyone have
any experience with 2 blade and 3 blade vibration differences?
